How to Cancel Dashlane in 2026 (And Switch to a Free Password Manager)

Updated February 2026 • 6 min read

Dashlane charges $4.99-8.99/month for a password manager — that's up to $108/year. Meanwhile, Bitwarden is free and open-source, Apple Passwords is built into your devices, and 1Password costs less. When Dashlane killed their desktop app and went browser-only, they lost most of their advantage.

Dashlane Pricing

• Free: 25 passwords on 1 device (basically useless)
• Premium: $4.99/month ($60/year) — unlimited passwords, dark web monitoring, VPN
• Friends & Family: $7.49/month ($90/year) — 10 users
• Business: $8.99/user/month

Step 1: Export Your Vault

1. Open the Dashlane web app (no desktop app anymore)
2. Go to Settings → Export Data
3. Choose CSV format (compatible with all other password managers)
4. Enter your master password
5. Save the file — immediately import into new tool, then delete the CSV

Step 2: Cancel Dashlane

1. Open Dashlane → Settings → Subscription
2. Click Cancel my subscription
3. Navigate through retention offers
4. If subscribed via Apple/Google: cancel through device subscription settings
